Frasier Island Redux


To do:
Six weeks of isolation - check
Haul Kalliope & paint the bottom - check
Test all systems -  check
Cast off the lines - check
Cross the Mooloola River Bar - check
Sail to Double Island Point - check
Anchor for the night - check

Greet the songbirds in the morning


Hitch a ride ashore with friends Greg and Lisa
We cross the Wide Bay Bar in perfect conditions so no drama and no photo. 
Now we are in Great Sandy Straight National Park where we find our way 
through braided channels among sand bars.


Enjoying another sunrise that couldn't be beat.
Spill out of The Straight into Hervey Bay.  We could not get a good picture of the spill.


Debbie shopping for sea shells by the sea shore.

 Anchor near the Kingfisher resort and
hike the trail to the site of the former Secret
WWII Frasier Island Commando School.


Get stuck driving the commando's not so secret surplus equipment.


Walk back 'cause the tractor is stuck.


Have such a good time we forget all about Mooloolaba sunsets.
